Gary Hart was a charismatic Democrat poised to win the party's nomination in 1987, but his story took a familiar turn when he became embroiled in a scandal. The events of that May shaped the way politics is covered and what is considered appropriate when judging a candidate. In 2016, the topic was examined with author Matt Bai, and now, in the wake of the 2016 election, it seems that sex scandals no longer hold the same significance. To discuss this, the show sat down with Brooke Gladstone, co-host of On the Media. The conversation centered around why sex scandals don't matter anymore in the current political climate. The episode was reported by Simon Adler with help from Jamie York and produced by Simon Adler. An update to the episode was produced by Rebecca Laks. The show also announced a global naming contest for one of Earth's quasi-moons, in partnership with The International Astronomical Union.
